False Accusations (1999) was Alan Jacobson’s debut novel, a legal thriller that came before Karen Vail and the OPSIG team. Die Trying (2025) marks a return to standalone fiction more than two decades later. Both books demonstrate that Jacobson can tell a complete story outside his recurring series, with the same attention to procedural accuracy that runs through his other work.
For readers who want to sample Jacobson’s writing without committing to a multi-book series, these two standalone novels are a natural starting point.
